Product Information

Full details

This Soho Lighting Intelligent Dimmer Switch in Bronze is designed for homeowners seeking a classic aesthetic with modern lighting control, especially for period-style interiors. Its key benefit is providing smooth, energy-efficient dimming for both LED and traditional bulbs, with a unique soft-start feature to prolong bulb life. A minor caveat is that the hand-finished bronze plates have unique variations, enhancing character but meaning no two are exactly alike.

FAQs

What is the maximum wattage this dimmer can handle?

The dimmer can handle a maximum load of 150W for dimmable LED bulbs and 300W for dimmable Halogen/Incandescent bulbs.

How do I switch between leading edge and trailing edge modes?

You can switch modes using the simple push-button setup integrated into the dimmer module. Refer to the specific setup instructions provided with the product for the exact procedure.

Can I use this dimmer with non-dimmable LED bulbs?

No, this dimmer is specifically designed for use with dimmable LED, Halogen, or Incandescent bulbs. Using non-dimmable bulbs will result in flickering or failure to operate correctly.

How does the soft-start feature work?

The soft-start feature gradually increases the light level over 1-2 seconds when the switch is turned on. This process reduces stress on the bulb filaments, extending their lifespan.

What does '2-way intelligent dimmer' mean?

It means the dimmer switch can control the lights from one location, and you can add a standard switch in another location (e.g., top and bottom of stairs) to control the same lights. The additional switch must be a standard, non-dimmer type.

Are the bronze plates uniform in color?

No, the bronze plates are hand-finished, meaning each one is unique. Subtle variations in texture and color are part of their character and charm.

What kind of bulbs are recommended for the best performance?

For optimal performance and longevity, use dimmable LED bulbs up to 150W or dimmable Halogen/Incandescent bulbs up to 300W. Ensure the bulbs are specifically marked as 'dimmable'.

Troubleshooting

Lights flicker or do not dim smoothly.

Ensure you are using dimmable LED, Halogen, or Incandescent bulbs. Try switching the dimmer mode (leading/trailing edge) using the push-button setup. Check that the bulb wattage is within the specified limits (150W LED / 300W Halogen/Incandescent).

Dimmer switch does not turn on.

Verify that the power supply to the switch is correctly connected and that the circuit breaker has not tripped. Check all wiring connections to ensure they are secure.

Overload protection activates frequently.

Reduce the total wattage of the connected bulbs. Ensure the total load does not exceed the maximum rated capacity (150W for LED, 300W for Halogen/Incandescent).

Dimmer fails to work in a 2-way setup.

Confirm that a standard, non-dimmer switch is used as the secondary control point. Ensure all wiring for the 2-way circuit is correctly installed according to the diagram.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The dimmer switch is designed for straightforward installation. Ensure power is disconnected at the mains before proceeding. Follow standard wiring practices for a 13A ring final circuit. The Enkin PDM150 module features an easy push-button setup for mode switching and configuration. For 2-way switching, connect standard light switches to the designated terminals.

Compatibility: This dimmer is compatible with dimmable LED bulbs (max 150W load) and dimmable Halogen/Incandescent bulbs (max 300W load). It can operate in either leading edge or trailing edge mode, which can be selected via the push-button setup.

Care: To maintain the finish, wipe clean with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or polishes, especially on the hand-finished bronze plate, to preserve its unique character.
